Mr. A. English proposed the toast to the king, while Mr. Harold Mould proposed the toast to the ladies, which Was responded to by Mrs. W. Sutton. Mr. Prank Ansell proposed the toast to the firm, which was responded to by Mr. George English who paid particular compliment to the eo-operation that the employees had given the firm in making it the outstanding plumb- ing and heating firm that it is to-day. The Cribbage Team went down to defeat last Monday night, but they are still optimistic of finish- ing in good standing in the league.

Five months ago, with band leader Tueker's band, vocalist Baker're- corded it. So melting and cajoling were diminutive Bonnie's "Oh!s" (Chicago jitterbugs quickly chang- ed the text to "Oh Bonnie, Oh”) that her record was soon jerking juke-box nickels faster than the fading "Beer Barrel Polka". Last week, with 350,000 sheet-music copies and some 350,000 records sold to date, the revived "Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny, Oh!" was nudging "South of the Border" for first place on the best-seller list. Meanwhile band leader Tucker and Bonnie moved into big time on the Lucky Strike "Your Hit Parade" and Tunesmith Olman was taking in more royalties than "Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny, Oh!" had earned in its first incarnation. Both in our duty of believers in Democracy and in our duty as Canadian citizens, can we take for granted the Liberal party as the last word in the guardianship against dictatorship? Just in the same way as Great Britain and her Allies have joined forces to fight against dictatorships, so will demo- cratic political parties in Canada have to join forces to combat die- tatonshins in the Dominion. Event- ually! Why not now? And, if those who would disrupt the British Empire and all she stands tor gained power of Great Britain's Peirliamene--what then? What then of our Church, our State, Labour, Trade Unions and Capital? What then of party ex- pediepey? These are questions that mav'have to be answered some day soon. (Time) In 1917, when ragtime was still the thing, a natty Chicago tune- smith named Abe Olman wrote a dumpy, foursquare little ragtime tune called "Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny, Oh!” Within a few months it rolled up a sale of nearly 1,500,000 copies. Then, as it must to all tunes, obli- vion came to "Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny, Oh!" when you want the nurse, phone 666-W. x-tf --Cofonel Alan Cockeram, Na- tional Government Candidate for South York in the coming election, paid a social visit to the members of Rangers Branch number 212 last Friday night. -Congvatulations are extended to Miss Elsie Richardson on her success in obtaining first class hon- ors, 94%, in Grade 11 Theory at the Toronto Conservatory of Music. Elsie is a pupil of Miss Kathleen Rogers. Then today we have hiding be- hind the protection of a political platform that the very democracy they defy affords them, opposi- tionists to national government playing upon the emotions of the electors. These party before Coun- try adherents, with their veiled suggestions are trying to make electors believe that dictatorship and national government go hand in hand. The peoples of Great Britain, France, Australia, New Zealand; all countries with a National Gov.. ernment display the spirit of loyal- ty, trust and faith. These Christian qualities disappear under dictator- ships. --Pupils from the studio of Anne G. Govenlock obtained the following standing at the Toronto Conserva- tory of Music February examina- tions: Grade 8, piano, Julie Ann Rankin, Weston, honors, 76%; Grade 2, theory, Katharine Stouf- fer, Minden, 1st.elass honors, 91%. We read in the newspapers that Liberal Leader Mr. King "gagged Parliament and stifled criticism, defying the democracy we are fighting to preserve." Is it any wonder that it is said that there are more people among Canada's 11,120,000 population, who are against British ideas; British traditions and the spirit of Demo- cracy, than there are among Great Britain's population of 47,283,000. National Governments recognize and respect Labour-Trade Union- ists---Capital. These in turn uphold National Government. "The plain duty of the labour movement-in its interests and that of the coun- try-is to 'lend undying support to democracy,' " said P. M. Draper, president of the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada. One of the finest recommenda- tions for national government is the fact that the National Govern- ment of Great Britain seared an unprecedented vote of confidence from the people in 1935. For the first time since the First Great War, a government was returned for a second term of office. That government is still in power. Why? Because a nation at war needs a national government-is one rea- son, Here in Canada at this moment, the greatest menace with which the Church and State is faced is the menace of dictatorship. It is fully borne out by facts and figures available at the Vigilant Interna- tional Federation Headquarters that dictatorship is being pushed to its utmost in Canada. If the administration of Canada's public affairs had resembled the guidance given to Great Britain by its National Government, dicta- torships would not be so existing. But unhappily this is not the case. All other post-war governments have been displaced on their appeal to the electors. That the National Government of Great Britain should enjoy the unique experience of be- ing asked to carry on is the na- tion's tribute to its work. Victorian Order of Nurses--.

Uncle Fred apparently thought that Polly Pott should have the same mastery over her poetical ad- mirer as his wife had over him. He must have been well trained indeed. .As I have already intimated there 1s.a considerable amount of feeble mindedness in the book. "It is possible, Velerie, my dear, that you have been thinking of tell- ing your aunt (his wife) that you meet me here". "It is", she said, "iqst possible”. .Narly every Eonquering hero has his master lurking somewhere m thtPTioupti. _ . . The book deals with our run- down mentally and altogether ec- centric modern English aristocracy. The characters are nearly all either very rich or very poor and are near- ly all simpletons except Uncle Fred. He steps out in the most approved fashion as the Sir Galahad of dam- sels in distress and .impecunious nephews and friends. Claude Pott (alias “Mustard Pot") the master of the card game called "Persian Monarchs" is also a detective and is very close with his money. He has invented his game by taking the first two moves in a game of cribbage, which to say the least is not a very original thing, simply to have each of the gamblers .cut the pack for the high instead of the low card and bet heavily on the re- sult. He always carried his own pack of cards and always won heav- ily until the Earl of Emsworth, who had almost no brain at all, cleaned him out. Luck serves some queer masters. Lord Iekenham's manner was very earnest. "You mustn't do it my dear. It would be fatal", etcet- era, and every word of the etcetera shows him to be in the greatest fear of his dear wife. Uncle Fred settles everybody's difficulties, even those of the Duke of Dunstable, who is so explosive that he has been known to seize a poker and lay about him right and left smashing dishes, bric-a-brac and articles of vertu until the place looked like San Francisco just after the earthquake-in somebody else's apartment, of course. He is the uncle of the poet and Ricky the red- gead is trying to explain Polly to 1m. "Duke-Who is she? Ricky-Nobody you know. Duke-Well who's her father? Ricky-Oh, nobody special." A sudden, sinister calm fell upon the Duke, causing his manner to resemble that,of a volcano which is holding itself in by sheer will- power." - Uncle Fred even quiets the vol- cano.- He is a real power.

Bill is just sixteen years'of age. This is a "Wodehouse" of the first water. Conservative, old Oxford conferred the degree of Doctor of Literature upon P. G. recently. The twentieth century also knighted Sir Harry Lauder who is an author of humorous verse, which shows that this is a reelly progressive century: The story of how Mustard Pott conquered the Drones is truly a work of art. This close-fished ad- venturer is so sueeessfully sketched that he becomes one of the heroes, because he stands on his own feet and never depended upon the bounty of an abnormally rich parnt. Mus- ard has a beautiful daughter and he seems to value her at par. Every- thing else except pure gold he thinks of as a little below par--- sometimes a great deal below. Mustard Pott's daughter Polly has had a quarrel with her lover, the pugilistic poet. Uncle Fred heals up the breach and then she wants to rush to her red-headed adorer and forgive him instanter. Uncle says no. "It doesn't do to let that dominant male type of chap think things are too easy". The poet is so simple that he wants to buy an onion soup bar from an American who has to get back to New York, on the jump, never real- izing that Yankees don't sell gold Wines until they are almost empty 0 es.

Lions Shah Members Sivan Sam Mum's For the successful operation of any Service Club or any organiza- tion, Charlie Lennox, District- Deputy Governor of the Lions Club, asserted that every member realize his responsibility and carry through to the end his share of the load. "The Lions Club movement is based on two fundamentals, that of. community Service and Social Welfare. The reason a club similar to yours can declare such a magnif- ieent net receipt for a project simi- lar to the Theatre night, when you cleared $383.00, speaks for itself and shows the willingness of each ‘member to assume his part and do lthe best." When you approach a prospee- tive member, how do you do it? queried the speaker, in the attitude of selling a piece of merchandise or do you approach him on the basis of the community service and the work you are doing in assisting the underprivileged to reach a higher goal in life. " Mr. Lennox drew the elub's at- tention to the fact that the War is going to force a curtailment on cer- tain lines, which will call for a greater spread and great activity on the part of Social Service Work- ers and Social Clubs, and stated that all Lions Clubs would have to give serious consideration to pro- jects they might wish to sponsor in helping to keep up the spirits of the Army at home-the youth of the land. Last year forty thousand different activities for Boys' Work were sponsored by the Lions as a whole. Mr. Geo. Elliott, of Barrie, visit- ed with Mr. Francis Graham last week.
